On the Level - Level 42 (Part II)

 Dave would roundly agree that our second and final stop is something of a favourite for us both

as the parapit of the bridge affords wide and far reaching veiws not only of the
 Somerset Levels
with attendant Swans all local Mutes
with no signs yet of their more northern cousins Bewick's and Whooper
and also the regular trains with other Waterfowl
including
POCHARD
our own resident species of
WIGEON
male top and female

but during all of the many visits made across many years we have never found a confirmed answer as to what these beautifully colouful rows of
OSIER WILLOWs
are grown for, best bet Basket Making?
CORN BUNTING
were also on view and vocal.
COMMON SNIPE
PINTAIL
and
a decent numbers of
GOLDEN PLOVER
with our collective favourites left almost until last
flying and in the meadows
COMMON CRANE
This tail-ender only possed for a matter of seconds not allowing for a posative I.D.
but may well have been a
BANK VOLE
one from the archive.
